Joy,
the latest pairing of director/writer David Russell and Jennifer Lawrence, is
an entertaining and at times fascinating take on the real life rags to riches
story of inventor Joy Mangano whose desire to create an invention and better
her existence is stifled with a thoroughly dysfunctional family and the
seemingly insurmountable challenges and heartbreak of starting her own
business. Although this film is not quite as strong as American Hustle or Silver
Linings Playbook, it showcases Lawrence's acting prowess in an Oscar
caliber performance as a woman who empowers herself against tremendous odds. If
you like Jen, go see it. She won't disappoint.
